'Tis the Season for Love Page #5

great family,

great life.

I couldn't ask for more.

I'm glad.

Me too. Everything's--

everything's great.

Ah. So you made

the right decision,

when you decided to leave.

You decided to stay.

I was always

going to leave.

We had a plan. We were packed.

We had tickets.

Well, I guess things work out

the way they're supposed to.

And we both made choices

that led us here.

Yeah.

To a great life.

Exactly.

I was hoping this wouldn't

be weird between us,

after all this time.

I'm really glad

that they're not.

Yeah.

So we're good?

We're good.

Good.

Good!

[Chuckles]

Good.

Ah. Yes.

There he is.

Glass?

Oh! Over this way.

[]

[Beth]:

And now you're the fire chief.

Yeah, I'd set these

little fires in the backyard,

I'd grab the hose,

and I'd put them out.

I remember that!

You set Barry's treehouse

on fire.

Well, everyone

has a dream, right?

And look at us.

We are living ours.

You're in New York...

And I...

Am rescuing cats from trees.

[Laughs]

So, what's it like being

in a real Broadway show?

Uh... it's more like

off-Broadway.

Well, how far

off Broadway?

Mm. Hoboken,

New Jersey.

[Laughing]

Come on... Beth.

I know we haven't

seen each other in a while,

but we used to be

pretty tight.

What's really going on?

[Sighing heavily]

I just...

I got to New York

and I thought that I would

have a career by Friday.

It's not like that.

It's a building process.

It's a lot of pounding

the pavement.

Nothing worthwhile

is ever that easy.

If it were,

any old dope

could do it.

I mean,

I could do it.

Except I really don't

think I could do it.

[Laughs]

But you...

[Balls clacking]

Well, you were always

extraordinary.

We had no doubt

that you would make it.

The thing is,

in New York City,

every single girl

at every single

open casting call

is the "extraordinary" girl

from her hometown.

We're, like, a dime a dozen

there.

Nothing but

extraordinary women?

Yeah, I've got

to go to New York.

So, it didn't

work out with Melinda.

I imagine

there's no shortage

of dating

options here.

I date...

Here and there.

But I just haven't

really found anyone

that I've clicked with.

Maybe I'm too picky.

What about you?

Is there a man in New York

that is eagerly

awaiting your return?

Mm, I've had a boyfriends

over the years,

but same thing,

nothing...

Nothing clicked.

Nothing felt...

Like Barry?

No. Nothing felt right.

I just threw myself

in my career.

There's this part.

It could really

change everything.

[Thumps pool table]

To getting it right.

To getting it right.

Could we

give you a ride?

Oh, no,

it's such a nice night,

I think I'm going to walk.

Well, let's

do this again
